The conference Development of Sustainable Mobility in Ukraine takes place on October 12 within the framework of the International Exhibition City Trans & Parking.

Participants of the conference and representatives of local authorities, experts in transport and infrastructure, directors of utility companies, as well as private transport operators are talking about strategies for transport network development and transport policy in Ukrainian cities.

Is a city for cars or for people? How to ensure comfortable, fast and environmentally friendly movement for everyone in the city? How to get rid of traffic jams in the downtown? How to provide efficient use of urban space? The concept of sustainable mobility can answer all these questions, as well as it is capable of balancing the interests of various categories of citizens.

Some cities have already developed and started the phased implementation of a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan. However, the major part of Ukrainian cities is just at the beginning of the path. Leading experts in transport industry will join the discussion related to the experience of pioneers in this field. They will also highlight the details and nuances of choosing a transport model, particularly how to study the passenger traffic, to optimize routes, to find out infrastructure needs and to spur preference for public transport. In addition, the conference will focus on the integrated urban development and factors which can make cities more attractive and convenient for residents.
